Beaching and map border riding

[Citrusss]

I think both situations should give flooding right as they occur. "tactical beaching" is wrong on so many levels...

I see no problems at all with the current system. Beaching is a double edged sword and the border just cuts your engine power by 75%

I can see your point, but I don't feel good when I imagine it.

 

Notser would sink in every battle.

border riding changes your direction which is very difficult to aim at. and beaching is just stupid once you hit a rock on a real ship - 10/10 your next stop is either permanent beaching at this rock or a dry dock.

The border drastically decreases your speed so you're usually moving at least about 2-3 knots to at most 10-11 knots, which makes you an easy target no matter what direction you're moving. As for islands, learn the difference between a GAME and a SIMULATION. WoWs is a game and not a simulator, and real life doesn't apply here for balance purposes

Border riding used to be absolute cancer, with the majority of battles take place at the borders of the map (before it was nerfed).  I think things are good as is with the engine power debuff that can literally cripple your ship's movement entirely if you don't leave it.  It does tend to screw up everyone's shots at you though, which isn't good...

As for island beaching, nothing screams "ALL SHIPS FIRE ON ME" then beaching.  Frankly, I applaud anyone who can use it to survive an encounter.

Exactly what I meant when I referred to beaching as a double edged sword. It can get you out in a pinche but it can and usually will backfire heavily
